realize these events that have shaped that partition is not about the political events that led up to partition it's about the impact on each person who went through it it's really important that we highlight the stories of humanity hopefully one outcome on this would be that we remember our shared humanity and the shared history. the last time i spoke to him he told me he was thinking of going to syria the world wants to see syria's fighters up close and personal but those behind the camera pay the price filmmaker yes it is amazing chillingly intimate footage on and behind the front lines cost him his life his body was good with an exclusive documentary syria the last assignments at this time on al-jazeera.

this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news hour live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. hundreds of thousands demonstrate in the u.s. demanding tougher gun laws processed sparked by the recent school shooting in florida. only one rebel group is left in eastern kentucky as pro-government forces it's close to taking control of the enclave. crowds demonstrate in tel aviv against the proposed deportation of thousands of african migrants we'll examine what's behind the israeli government's plans. also this the wounds of history are still open demands for justice for those who disappeared during argentina's

military dictatorship. the top story hundreds of thousands of people have taken part in mass protests across the united states and in thirty six other countries calling for stricter gun laws the march for our lives events were inspired by calls for action from teenage survivors of last month's school shooting in florida where seventeen people died and reports now from washington. on the streets of washington d.c. the crowd swelled and voices rose in unison the of the of the march for our lives protest was led by the students of marjorie stoneman douglas high school in florida with seventeen lives were lost and the gonzales survived the shooting in face a crowd in tearful silence for six minutes the time it took the gunman to take so many lives you know i can't comprehend the devastating aftermath or how far this

would reach or where this would go for those who still can't comprehend because they refused to i'll tell you where i went right into the ground six feet deep. that. protesters came from across the country to show their support many here have been touched by the plague of gun violence and of long campaigned for change i just think it would be great if they enacted soon gun regulation that kept weapons of war off of our streets i have a young son who is about to be in can their garden and so making sure that the places that he goes actually safe and secure. among the speakers eleven year old niamey wilder his pledge to take political action at such a young age resonated with many my friends and i might still be eleven and we might still be in elementary school but we know we know life isn't equal for everyone and we know what is right and not. was i we

also know that we stand in the shadow of the capitol and we know that we have seven short years until we do have the right to that i the students of marjorie stoneman douglas high school may have started this protest alone but the voices of far from solitary here in washington d.c. hundreds of thousands joined the coals for gun reform and around the world eight hundred other events made this a truly global affair the refrain never again from this new generation has never been. my name card. the students have. simply read out the names of classmates and teachers that were killed last month this was as much a remembrance for those lost as it was a. washington. taking place across the united states another big demonstration in chicago. tens of thousands of

people have come out on a freezing day in chicago to join this march and there's a good reason it's happening here chicago more than any other major city in the united states is affected by gun violence six hundred fifty people were murdered by guns last year in this city thirty five hundred. and believe it or not that is a drop from the year before gun violence here is a major problem even though gun laws here are fairly strict that is because the gun laws in the surrounding states are not strict and people bring those guns over the border many people here have pictures of victims and that's because in many neighborhoods in chicago everybody knows someone who has been shot and i can tell you a personal story my own two sons high school age sons had their school on lockdown just two weeks ago because of a threat of an active shooter that thankfully did not end in any kind of shooting

incident but it illustrates the fear that these children are under end the fact that it is high school age children who are leading this drive unlike in the past they have already changed the law in florida and in other states and now they are pushing congress which is tending to be lagging behind the people when it comes to major change in the sixty's it is the children who are leading this change and they hope to push congress and state legislatures to change the nation's gun laws. joins us live here on the news washington and listening to some of those public speakers those very young public speakers some very powerful stuff in there today. absolutely and that's one of the thing that is so amazing about this is these kids these students that marjorie stoneman douglas high school in parkland florida got out immediately after the shooting and they were very very effective in leveraging and harnessing social media and the mainstream media to get their message and now

they were able to partner and connect with other schools around the us to get their message out and is as you said in the package earlier was mentioned in the package earlier they were able to effectively pass tighter gun legislation and gun control legislation in florida which was actually had fairly lax gun laws prior to that i think timing is important here to these kids were able to kind of ride the crest of the meat to movement and the women's movement from last year challenging the status quo at a time that's really resonating with many people here in the u.s. and across the world donald trump is it mar-a lago this weekend any official reaction to what's going on today from the white house. i have yet to see any official reaction from the white house actually we were down just a little while ago to the trump hotel not too far from the white house the

protesters had piled up the signs that they were carrying today and the staff at the hotel were cleaning them up i haven't seen anything yet but i would expect to hear something from the president at some point many things told she likes him. still to cover for you here on the news hour including where the prospect of an end to the nuclear deal doesn't bother some iranian businesses. also ahead it's lights out in cities and towns across the world in a campaign to raise awareness about climate change. and the sports news with far australia's cricket team admits to cheating in their series against south africa we'll have more on that for you in about forty minutes. car bombs exploded near the center of the rebel held city of it lived in the northwest of syria killing at least fifteen people the head of the local civil

which is already crowded according to the united nations one million displaced persons who left other opposition held areas after they were recaptured by government forces live there it's also not a safe place airstrikes are have increased in the past week killing dozens of people many of them children. unicef partners report that seventeen children were killed yesterday in. heavy violence near a unicef supported school for students to flee to an underground shelter in a nearby building which then came under attack. around one million children live amid escalating violence and. it has been attacked from the air for years and a few months ago government forces have their allies launched a limited ground offensive for the first time in years if the pro-government alliance launches an all out offensive to recapture adlib many warn it could be an even worse humanitarian catastrophe it is a deescalation zone according to an agreement between russia and turkey to reduce

gaining in strength. has that story. yemenis have been trying to free central and northern provinces where the saudi led coalition is battling with the rebels but many have been denied entry into southern cities including aden and hundreds of northerners already in the south have been forcibly displaced in testimonies provided to al jazeera some business owners say they were told they'll be killed unless they pack up and leave. we had to show up but they stormed our places and kicked us out they even took my. medication for mining. she i was working in i didn't at a restaurant i was kicked out i was harassed in the end i urge them to fear god they confiscated all stalls which belong to northerners this is my mother they took all our money and human rights watch says yemenis with more than backgrounds face difficulties and aid in the checkpoints sometimes help for hours questioned occasionally turned back or called there are good three names. i was trying to

travel to saudi arabia but was turned back i had visas papers everything but they refused to allow me to access the airport and then let you go we have guy took us off the bus and kept a standing we ask an officer to have some mercy we're old men but after he saw the id he said you're an old man and i don't want to put you in jail but i don't want you in aden i'd give no no when we showed them i.d.'s they said these won't be enough they took us to prison and left us without food or drink and care they said they would hold us for a little while and then they would deport us. forty years ago the elected government called in the saudi airlines to help defeat to the rebels but fighting continues in the north and no single party seems to be in control of the south. the south of the old country until unification in one thousand nine hundred and now many there are again openly calling for secession divisions have also appeared in the saudi led coalition despite repeated denials in january secessionist backed by

the united arab emirates took over most of aden they took it from the forces of the internationally recognized government which is ironically supported by u.s. coalition allies saudi arabia and as the old cracks reappear in war torn yemen its people find themselves stranded between competing interests it's not a big job as there. and in the next part of our special series on yemen we'll take a look at who is behind the new armed groups that are adding to the chaos in what is the middle east's poorest country that's during the day on sunday here on al-jazeera. thousands of people have protested in tel aviv against israel's planned mass deportation of eritrean and sudanese migrants african migrants were among the estimated twenty thousand demonstrators in front of city hall the israeli government has ordered more than forty thousand undocumented migrants to leave in exchange for money and a plane ticket however the country's supreme court has suspended deportations demanding more information on the plans before they go ahead earlier i spoke about

this just a short time ago with a keeper eldar he's a senior columnist for the news website al monitor he believes the treatment of african migrants in israel does have strong racial undertones the governments in europe who saw. hundreds of thousands more than a million in germany and after all we are a few gees people of israel the jewish people are if you gees and these people have been working here and trying to become israelis they speak hebrew their children who were in it so easy you're going to sure it's not a political issue so for you this clearly jars with the founding principles of israel. and the jewish people you know we're going to celebrate that passover friday. which is the holy book.

and among other things we're going to say that the lord has offered to feed all human beaks not only to jewish people and you're going to rights organizations have proved that is what actually can benefit from. the african people at ease and retrace instead of bringing workers from the philippines or from china we could make use of these people who want to be israelis and so you know it's less then half a percent of the population of israel so i think the government has climbed to very high tree and they're finding it difficult to get back down to reality because the reality is you don't have to put these people in the poor neighborhoods of to let the people who are living now and they can be part of this

country. no time is there a sense in which perhaps that benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister would really rather that this just went away or he was able to shut it down because he's got problems at the moment that are keeping him on the front pages of all the israeli newspapers allegations of corruption we've got the move of jerusalem being declared the capital of israel by the trumpet ministration the state so that's keeping him on the front pages as well but if legally it is decided that desert scene from the eritrean on me is grounds for claiming and being allowed to claim asylum that might be an issue for him. yeah but i'm fortunate. also showing the majority of the israeli jews. you know on this issue so it's again it's like spitting on iran and

posting and taro so these people who are under jewish don't not part of us and this is their tree you do human is a church of people and you know we have. about one hundred and fifty thousand illegal. immigrants from ukraine from europe but they are white and this doesn't seem to disturb you know but. you know. this is part of a kind of racism israel has to tackle akiva eldar talking to us just a little early on our car bombs killed two policemen and injured five others in northern egypt the attack hit a security convoy as it passed the police station in the city of alexandria the interior ministry says the city's security chief was the target the explosion comes just ahead of monday's presidential election. the vote comes seven years on from

the revolution that ended the three decades long presidency of hosni mubarak kemal santamaria looks at egypt's political ups and downs since his dramatic fall. remember this it's hard to forget really an eighteen day revolution it's hot in cairo's tahrir square which brought down a president so firmly entrenched in egyptian life i call them the pharaoh but equally a revolution can be something which goes full circle and it's hard to argue that's not happened in egypt seven years later the play is largely the same just with a different path. after president hosni mubarak stepped down in two thousand and eleven the army took power but for months the protests continued egyptians were not happy with the slow pace of reform they eventually got a national unity government by the end of that year followed by a presidential election in june of two thousand and twelve which was won by this man the muslim brotherhoods mohamed morsi think about how big

a deal this was the leader of a party with islamic principles which had been banned in the mubarak years was now the democratically elected president of egypt but perhaps not surprisingly this didn't sit well with the old guard nor did it help that mostly dismissed the defense minister the chief of staff and trying to limit the influence of both military and judiciary by early twenty thirteen the protesters were back this time against morsi and in july the president was overthrown by the egyptian army and it is at this point that we are starting to see the beginnings of that full circle which we talked about the muslim brotherhood it was declared a terrorist group political parties based on religion were banned so again that only really affected the muslim brotherhood and when a presidential election was held again in may of twenty fourteen egyptians elected a former army chief bill fattah el-sisi as their leader with nearly ninety seven percent of the vote though it does have to be said there was a low turnout and a massive crackdown on campaigning and the media meanwhile morsi was sentenced to

twenty years in prison over the arrest and torture of protesters when he was in office as well as being condemned to death a ripper a count of muslim brotherhood prisoners that sentence was overturned in november of twenty sixteen in a retrial ordered but morsy does remain in jail to this day and all the while sisi has strengthened his grip on power journalists have been arrested including our own let's not forget while potential political opponents have been i have a banned from running or arrested themselves sisi will run for a second term in this presidential election and right now there is very little to suggest he won't win. u.s. forces in a strike near the southern libyan city of killed two people it referred to as terrorists the strike was reportedly carried out in coordination with the internationally recognized government of national accord in tripoli the u.s. says no civilians were killed went up to one hundred has more now from tripoli it's

been confirmed by both the u.s. african command and libya's national accord the government that this airstrike that was carried out by the u.s. air force and targeted a house near the city and the south of libya according to the two eyewitnesses in a body they say that they heard the blast at around noon time libya local time and when they rushed that they found two libyan men were killed but according to the u.s. air force did this air strike killed two terrorists we understand that over the past two years. air force has been carrying out hundreds of air strikes that targeted locations and operatives affiliated with both eisel and al qaida and according to the libyan national accord the government these air strikes are included nation between libya's government of national accord and they waited states air force no iran's landmark nuclear deal back in twenty fifteen

could be torn up if the u.s. president donald trump's hawkish new national security advisor gets his way john bolton supported the idea of killing the accord and bombing iran but was in basra he reports now from tehran many small businesses feel the deal hasn't helped the much any way. to develop a strong economy support small business that's one of the trickle down effect iran's leaders were hoping for when they signed the nuclear deal with world leaders three years ago. but for most businesses operating at this level the kinds of marketplaces that represent the majority of iranians and the benefits of the nuclear deal have passed them by. the expectations of the private sector have not been fulfilled. he has been working with the government and private companies to attract foreign investors to iran when the deal was signed iranian leader said they had reconnected the country to the global marketplace the reality is different.

the jam being the political side of the nuclear deal carried more weight than the economic one i'm not a political expert but in economic terms especially in the private sector we have not witnessed any tangible achievements. trade fairs like these are a common sight all year round producers from every province in the country travel to teheran trying to drum up more business here the nuclear deal has been good for iran's public image but not much else. to everybody and others the americans didn't let his realize our expectations in the shadow of fear hanging over the europeans from the u.s. has affected the implementation of the nuclear deal regarding the taking of office by trump it has made things worse a crazy mind is that the top. other say they're worried that if the deal falls apart or if there's new sanctions imposed the few gains that have been made will be

lost. a mesh a raw materials most to come from europe we don't have the same industrial steel in iran it's all the imported from europe after the nuclear deal importing has been easier and there are more sanctions our industry will collapse at almost no cost to himself donald trump is costing iran dearly by scaring away potential investors well we're going to see what happens iran deal is coming up. it's. probably another month or so and you're going to see what i do quite a ron has not been treating in that part of the world or the world itself appropriately a lot of bad things are happening in iran the deal is coming up in one month and you'll see what happens in vegas but on. when a stretch like this have created uncertainty about iran's future and that is bad for business. when the nuclear deal was being negotiated iran's supreme leader

ayatollah ali khamenei warned his government that the deal may not work because he said the other side might stab iran in the back but he gave his blessings in hopes that a negotiated solution would bring an end to decades of confrontation with the west now supporters of the deal are worried the company's prediction may soon come true xin boss ravi holds his ear at the wrong. argentinians have marched in memory of victims of the so-called dirty war in the one nine hundred seventy s. tens of thousands of people were tortured or disappeared during the military dictatorship laws giving an amnesty to those who committed the abuses were scrapped more than a decade ago the stories of the reports protesters have never given up looking for answers about what i said where are they asks these people outside a court when a site is the question is directed at the former military officers on trial for human rights abuses committed during the dictatorship in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's when a. father we know was an intelligence military chief during the dictatorship who is

under house arrest and he told me he would do it again and i was in shock. would you kill again would you rate again. it took leanna for your years to accept her father's crimes that's why she's campaigning to change the loss so that she and others can testify against their parents in court if it was a son i was embarrassed to say who was my father that he committed genocide i approached human rights groups because i believe we should be able to testify against our parents. if we had any type of information that could shed some light on what happened during those dark days arjen kind legislation prohibits sons and daughters from testifying against their parents in court and that's why i. people whose parents were members of the military during the dictatorship are hoping to change the penal called only in cases where human rights abuses have been committed

they believe that their testimony can help shed light on what happened to thousands of people that were killed at the time. and it's not just finding their remains that victims want it is also finding the who are now adults born to mothers who disappeared. son had lost both his legs amputated in a train accident he was a political activist in argentina in one nine hundred seventy eight he was kidnapped with his wife and daughter. was able to find her granddaughter twenty two years later but many grandmothers are still trying to find missing children. we thankful for anyone who can provide us information that can help us find our grandchildren even if it's my son who did something wrong he deserves a trial but stealing his daughter i don't understand how these months is can continue to stay silent. there is

a pact of silence among members of the military involved in abuses that's why information is precious for those trying to find their loved ones. changing the peano code would allow a new testimonies to be given which may not only to your rest provide the answers may be looking for decades. still to come here on the news for you tributes to the french policeman who was killed by the caucus on gunman after taking the place of a hostage. the mission to plant millions of seeds in brasilia how it could help the city's water issues. and the sports news find with the winners and losers in qualifying for the opening for me on form three in melbourne.

we're still struggling to push our wintry weather out of the way for the u.s. space in places they've rain and snow making their way across the plains easing over towards the middle lanty states the seri of low pressure will try to bring in some mahler bumps into the cold and we have the snow in the forecast and that's going to the case as we go on through the next hour say but the snow should weaken it'll slide is where a little further southeast was further north no great shakes on the top which is considering it is now spring six or seven celsius there for new york and also for washington d.c. further west it's not too bad in terms of bright and dry weather snow flurries there over the rockies for a time but the snow does gather as it pushes out into the plains for monday i'm going to see some very heavy rain into southern laos past twenty seven celsius there for dallas as the world thirty eight degrees in atlanta the still on the cool side and seven right there as you can see over towards the east the sable from new

. for washington d.c. but it should be largely dry and slightly dry across the caribbean charles of one of two showers there into the greater antilles see a little bit of wet weather coming into puerto rico coming into his daniella jamaica could see some cloud and rain as we go on through sunday we push on into monday those easterly winds drive the showers further west. in syria citizens are collecting evidence and our knowledge there has shot of crimes committed against civilians we've moved out of syria post six hundred thousand pages of material so that one day they can bring the acid regime to justice that puts a human face on the charges it's a dead human face but it's a huge case syria witnesses for the prosecution at this time on al-jazeera. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to

leave the room just. when people need to be heard women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new award winning documentaries and live news and out of iraq i got to commend you on hearing is good journalism on air and on line. welcome back you're watching the al-jazeera news are coming to life my headquarters here in doha let's just recap our top stories so far today hundreds of thousands of people have taken part in mass protests across the u.s.

and in thirty six of the countries calling for stricter gun laws the march for our lives events were inspired by calls for action from teenage survivors of last month's school shooting in florida where seventeen people died. more buses packed with fighters and civilians are on their way to syria's province from the east and in the south it's the latest withdrawal under an evacuation deal with the government that's expected to see seven thousand people leaving the perceived. enclave. and thousands of people have protested in tel aviv against israel's mass deportation of eritrean and sudanese migrants the israeli government has halted more than forty thousand undocumented migrants to leave in exchange for money and a plane ticket. ok let's return to our top story those marches being held in the u.s. and indeed around the world in support of tights a gun controls we're going to spend the next few minutes discussing this joining us live now steve perry he's an american teacher and founder of capital prep schools in harlem new york he joins us from hartford connecticut and on skype we have steve

rogers from nutley new jersey he was a member of the triumphal president's advisory board and a former member of the f.b.i. national joint terrorism task force steve rogers coming to you first are you in favor of some change oh no change. i'm in favor of reasonable regulations like getting rid of the bumps not what the problem we face here is that this is a massive effort to eliminate guns from law abiding citizens it might thirty eight years as a police officer who investigated violent crimes i've always heard from the would always tell me if i had a weapon to protect myself i would have not had so it's a fish losing my very life so there should be reasonable regulations but i think there's enough on the books now for us to follow steve perry it's about reasonable regulations and asking people to surrender their freedoms i guess those freedoms protected by the second amendment. well the second amendment was passed in

seventeen ninety one at that time the military was only sixteen years old and as a nation things were very very different out of been a slave so simply referring to a time in which we had a second amendment without the context of today what we know is that what we have in terms of regulations are not helping us in fact we have a generation of children who've grown up fearful of everything from gathering places from from churches to schools to concert venues we have to push harder there is no reason to have weapons of war in a time of peace in the united states of america steve rogers what's wrong with eliminating guns well the city of chicago has the strictest gun control laws of the country as the city of washington d.c. and as a result they have the highest rates of gun violence because if you eliminate from

law abiding citizens then only the lawlessness will have guns and what. perspective the. people of steve rogers can i just interrupt you for a second there dunblane in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven people were killed in a school the british government passed legislation to cattail handgun ownership gun violence dropped australia brought in not dissimilar legislation gun violence dropped decidedly dropped it was a huge falling off a cliff drop so your logic doesn't stand up. it stands up here because we have people who own guns in this country and the ends of people who are law abiding citizens the difference between those countries and us is we have a constitutional right to bear arms now i would say reasonable regulations f. background checks and make sure people who are deemed mentally ill don't get those their hands on those weapons the bum stocks be eliminated that's fine but out so

right so bad so background. background yeah but background checks would first of all a constitution limit not even freedom of speech is unfettered so simply because the constitution amendment doesn't mean that it is without it is not without some form of regulation and conscious movements but just because we would have done background checks that witness stopped aurora it wouldn't stopped parksville it wouldn't stopped quite a few places where children and adults have been murdered we have to accept this notion we can no longer accept this notion that if we take guns away then there will only be lawlessness as you mentioned there are a number of nations and which the decrease in gun violence has been profound profound so we have to have a a bigger conversation and we have to have one in which we want to be safer as

a nation not to hold on to some for far gone notion of what america used to be. what you said what you say the victims of carjackings victims of homicide victims are being slaughtered by weapons even some of those children which the media in this country did not talk about so had someone in that school had a weapon any school so that government no matter what school that was someone or did have a weapon or someone did or someone did have a weapon several inches or her gentlemen can i interrupt just for a second just one second steve rogers that idea surely you will come clean on this one nobody in america wants or accept and one has to say it's based on pure human logic here the idea of arming teachers i mean you spent what i thirty eight ok thirty nine years i thirty eight years just let me finish the point thirty eight years as a policeman you will therefore be well familiar with what say we saw that eleven

year old talking in washington cogent very very powerful speaker a bullet going through an eleven year old's body literally liquefies the internal organs there's no easy or delicate or pleasant way to say that but that is what happens so the idea of arming teachers and turning them into what vietnam vets snipers that will never work. well i agree the fact that i would want to see teachers norm however saying that we don't have humidity policing officers in schools we don't have well trained school resource officers and in the cities and i can tell you this at least in this area in the cities across this country in a couple going about a lot of african-american communities their way had the game been a battle detectives and they have armed security personnel if you notice something none of these shootings at least as far as i know have happened in schools in the inner cities because they are smart they have prepared to protect the children so

there's and that's a fact so so what we need to do when we put it out as an as an african-american as african-american to run schools in the african-american community which i'm telling you that that did not stop that. actually if you only had one guest on yes we would just sit and let you talk but we have more than one so i'm going to your is corrupt what i'm saying on is what you're talking about what i do you're right i'm interrupting you because we don't have all day it's not it's not just your segment so what we're doing is we're talking about what i do which is educate african-american children and i'm telling you that we we do not have a safer community because we have more guns and neither did fort hood who by the way had nothing but guns it didn't stop someone from coming in and shooting up one of our military bases ok so he was having guns just not me stepped on again johnny little just for a second steve rogers steve perry is saying he wants abroad to bait you would be receptive to that as an idea but why is it today we are not hearing on twitter or

on any social media platform from the n.r.a. if you look at marco rubio's tweets however i mean he was taken to toss big time on a week ago ten days ago marco rubio's tweets it should be tied to sponsored by the n.r.a. given how much political money they've given the man. well i can't speak for the n.r.a. and can only speak based on my experience and the people that i've spoken to him throughout my thirty eight years one eight i was in a shooting i don't know your other guess what had a gun pointed at him i did i was in a gun battle and a lot of people could die and if someone and have to be me in a few of the police officers work on the scene of that crime and was able to neutralize that suspect so if you think you have the answers to value while in use and the answers are people let me finish now ok i hope to god you're never put in a position of some of the people i've seen where a gun was pointed at them and some guy had they had a weapon a legal weapon

a trained person they would not be dead today. steve perry joins come back on that point he says and we make the argument that if someone do it each time we make the argument that if someone else had had a gun then we wouldn't be here fort hood had guns people still died first because the personal wrong man came in on guns blazing or was i don't want i want i would look to what i would want the police officers i would. want i want to lease officers i would let so let me so i want police officers have guns but i don't want teachers to have guns i don't want principals have guns and both columbine and imparts feel they had armed officers on the scene really really didn't stop harnage and so we have to have a go at it we had that come out so we were brought up so a homeowner. i agree with you just listen if it were if your when it comes to teachers and principals what about the homeowner what about the guy and the woman

who goes hunting they have a gun in their car their approach white car jacker are you suggesting that homeowners in this country should not have weapons to protect themselves are you suggesting that all the people who i own who have them said you know my home i was . going to so here's a question you asked me you asked me am i suggesting the home owners not have guns i am saying that you can be safe without having a gun i am safe and i don't have a gun ok i have family members who a lot of them assume a law enforcement officer and what i'm going to gentlemen i hope that gentleman both steves please last point steve rogers anyone can come up with the kind of scenarios you're coming up with a woman on her own facing rape somebody a house owner the house is being burgled is being burgled what if what we are seeing today is a tipping point quote if america is transcending your president donald trump on the
